So this means if you want the darkest sky thru-hike in the lower 48 you should hike the Oregon Desert Trail! It appears to stay mostly within the largest area of darkest skies in the continental US. Cool!

Definitely a lot of factors that does into “What is a wild place?”. Just near me, the Pawnee Grassland went from a remote feeling area to a much different environment…in only a few short years.

When people talk about drilling in ANWR I like to show them a light map. Check out Alaska. The brightest spot? Prudhoe Bay. One of the darkest? ANWR. There’s not only the footprint of physical ground, but a sound footprint and a light footprint and activity footprint and a vista footprint.
